COMBINED JACK AND PU P.

Application filed July 19,- 1923. Serial No. 652,657.

To all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, HARVEY H. MORGAN, a citizen of the United States,residing in East St. Louis, in the county of St. Clair and State ofIllinois, have invented new'and useful Improvements in Combined Jacksand Pumps, of which the following is a specification. I

This invention relates to a novel imple ment for use with automobilesand has for its general object the provision of a device which may beused for jacking up a car and inflating the tires.

To this end, the invention resides in a stand to rest on the ground, alever pivotally mounted in the upper end thereof, a frame carried by'the lever and adapted to be raised and lowered thereby, said framesupporting in its upper end a circular rotatable memberadapted to passover the hub of the wheel, and provided with a crank arm adapted to passbetween the spokes of the wheel, and supporting in its lower portion a'pump having its piston rod attached at its upper end to the saidrotatable member whereby, when the said member is inserted over the hubof a rear wheel and the lever depressed, the wheel will be raised, andthe crank arm beingbetween the spokes of said wheel when the engine isstarted running, the pump piston will be rapidly reciprocated to forceair through a tube leading from the pump into the tire or tires needingto be inflated.

The invention is illustrated in the accompanying drawing in which- IFigure 1 is a view in side elevation of a combined jack and pumpconstructed according to my invention; Figure 1 is a detached view inside elevation of the crank arm showing how the device can be manuallyoperated as a pump, if desired;

Figure 2 is a view in rear elevation of'a car showing my device inposition and one of the rear wheels jacked up thereby, said wheel beingbroken away to illustrate the application of the crank to the spokesthereof; a Figure 3 1s 'a View lnslde elevation showing the parts on anenlarged scale as they appear in Figure 2; and

Figure 4 is a sectional view taken on the line 44 of Figure 3. I

Referring now to the drawings, the numeral 1 indicates the supportingstandard of my improved device comprising a base plate 2 adapted tovrest upon the ground, and side bars 3 projecting upward from the base.Pivotally mounted in theupper ends of the side bars 3, as indicated at4, is ayoke member 5 from one end of which projects rearwardly a lever 6having a handle 7 at. its outer end and provided on its side adjacent tothe handle 7 with a lug 8 which is adapted to engageone of the side-bars3 to limit the downward movement of the lever 6. Pivotally mounted inthe outer ends of the yoke member 5, as indicated at 9, is an annularbearing 10 in which is rotatably mounted a ring 11 which is held inposition by meansof collars 12 applied to either side of the annularbearing 10 and secured to the ring 11 by screws 13. For convenience incarrying the device, the upper side of the annular bearing 10 isprovided with a handle 14. Extending radially outward from the ring 11is an arm 15 bent outward at right angles to itself to furnish a crank16 which latter is adapted, in the operation of the device, to beinserted between the spokes of the wheel. To. prevent marring thelatter, I preferably apply a piece of rubber tubing 17 or the like, onthe crank end 16. The numeral 18, Figure 1,

indicates a U-bar which at its upper end is slit and bent outwardly ateither side to form flanges which, as shown by Figure 3, engage theunder side and the face of the annular bearing 10 to which they aresecured by screws 19. At its lower end the bar 18 has its flangeportions cut away and its flat body portion turned outward at rightangles, as indicated at 20, Figure 1, this por-. tion forming a supportfor a bearing 21 in which is pivotally mounted at 22 a lug 23 projectingfrom the bottom end, of a pump cylinder 24. At its lower end the pumpcylinderis provided with a nipple 25 to which a length of hose 26 may beattached, said hose having at its outer end the usual valve arrangementto enable thehose to be connected with the inflation valve of the tire.

At its upper end, the pump cylinder has secured on it a cap 27 whichprovides a bearand placed beside one of the rear; wheels and the ring,11 insertedover thehuh .captlmreon and the crank 16 between thespolgespf the Wheel, as shown in Figurcsj andA particularly. The handle7 is then grasped and the lever 6 turned downward until the lug 8engages the corresponding side bar 3.

This, of course, raises the w1 eel ,;f1'omfich ground owing to theleverage afforded by pivoting; theeyokeunember- 5 fat. "its basetothelbansfi, and :at-lits outerendutmthe ring. 10.1.
